state.
:;. The commission bas setrhority to
issue au order declaring tbe old to be
in effect.
4. The legal rates established under
the laws of Micbigan cannot be
changed witbont due notic* and bearing.
After asserting tbat ''these rates
were originally fixed by the postmaster general witnout regard to provisions of the laws of various states,"
Mr. Groe9beck says:
"Tbis department is of tbe opinion
that congress has no right to continue
these rates after coDtrol ol tbe companies bas been returned to the respective owners. This is a direct interference witb the right of tbe various
states to govern their internal affairs,
which ia contrary to the federal eon
Btitution."
Tbe Michigan Public futilities Com
mission lias decided to set aside the
Burleson telephone rates", wbich representatives of the Michigan State
Telephone company and other telephone companies had hoped to keep
in operation until December. A new
temporary schedule for the entire
state will be prepared within two
weeks, effective as of August 1
In this connection the utilities
board gave out the following statement Saturdap morning, signed by
Chairman William M. Smith and
Commissioners William W. Potter,
Samuel O'Oell. Sherman Handy acd
Earl R. Stewart
'The attorney general having advised tbe commission tbat tbe Burie-
soo rates are illegal, tbe commission
will proceed to prepare a temporary
schedule of telephone rates for the
entire state to take effect August 1,
-91*., to supplant and take the place
of the Buneacn rates.
"This temporary schedule will be
prepared with all possible speed and
it is hoped to bave it ready bv August
15. The commission has a very keen
appreciation of the possibilities of
endless and expensive litigation arising over the telephone situation, and
desires and expects to act in such a
manner that tbis expense may be
saved the state, the municipalities
and tbe telephone companies interested."
bums and every last one will vote for
tbe old condition of things. Our attorney general holds tbat no vote can
be had in this state.
Attorney General Alex J. Groeebeck
has advised Secretary of State Coleman C. Vaugban not to accept the
initiatory petitions filed by the wets
for a referendum vote on the ratification of the federal prohibition amendment.
Unless the courts reverse the opinion tbere will be no prohibition battle
in Micbigan next year,
The attorney general holds that the
state referndum cause applies only to
legislation by bill and does not cover
amendments to tbe federal constitution.

At the close of the meeting a large

fine ranches of which the county has
many. A glimpse was given of tbe

going to bed about 9 o'clock. In tbe
j evenings we have eDjoyed sitting by
Jar grato lire and reading the daily
paper and "Tbe Preacher of Cedar-
Mountain,'' by Eornest Seton Thompson.
I note bv yoar letters that the papers at home are keeping you pretty
well informed as to fhe far East situ-
tiou. Tnere seems to be a real move
ment in Cbina at tbe preeent showing her dissaproval of ber treatment
at the Peace Conference. Ot course
i we kuow that tbere were many and
weighty problems whicb engaged tb©
attention of the delegates, but it
seems to nearly everyone out here
tbat it was a mistake for the Conference to give Japan's illegal position
in Shantung its official sanction, ratber tban to recognize Chinees sovereignity. Tbe boycott movement
agoinst Japan seems to he gaining in
strength aud if it is continued is will
surely prove tc be an effective weapon against militaristic Japan, Tbe
promises whicb Japan is making to
return that territory to Cbina are
very liable to sound gaod, but few
have faith in Japan that sbe really
means it, and if she does return the
territory it will be hedged about with
promises and conditions whicb wiil
still leave the power and control in
tbe bands of Japan.
Perhaps you note also tbat the Japanese government has made an official apology to oar goverment for the
Tientsin incident. I certainly am
glad the U. S. for once did show a
bit of spunk in dealing wtib Japan.
It has been a healthy lesson for ber.
Recent disclosures out here snow
tbat up to the time tbe L". S entered
the war, there was a strong movement in Japan to break relatione with
the Allies and to help Germany. Tbis
is not strange when one considers
Japan's Germanic tutelege and ber
Germanic tendencies.
We bave bean baying our Centenary drive out here and North China
nas gone considerably over tbe
amount apportioned.
Well I do not think of more news
at the present, eo wll! close for this
